Section 1 Grain Bin Specifications

1. GENERAL DESIGN INFORMATION a) All Chief Industries grain bins are designed for storage and handling of 49.5 PCF (793 kg/m3) free flowing grain (52.5 PCF (841 kg/m3) compacted grain @ 6%). Grain fill level shall not exceed 1" (25.4 mm) down from eave. Storage of products other than grain (products heavier than 49.5 PCF (793 kg/m 3 ), products having unusual flow characteristics or unusual corrosive properties) must be approved by Chief Industries' Engineering Department prior to quoting. Storage of soybean meal or meat scraps or other non-flowing products in standard tanks will void the warranty. Each individual sidewall ring has been designed to accommodate the vertical and horizontal wall loads imposed by the stored grain. Sheeting gauge and design strength for each ring is individually analyzed for all bin sizes. Also, stiffener gauges and design strengths are individually determined for each bin's full sidewall height range. All steel materials are purchased in accordance with the applicable ASTM Standard. All bolted connections are designed using high strength bolts which meet the specifications of the applicable ASTM or SAE Standards. All bins must be filled uniformly at the center and unloaded through the center discharge only, until grain no longer flows by gravity. Bins filled or emptied off-center will void the warranty; except approved sidedraw systems. All Galvanized Steel used for storage and drying bins conform to ASTM specification A653 and the Galvanized coating to A924, TYPE G-115; 1.15 oz/ft.2 (Z350; 350 gm/m2) total for both sides as follows: 22 Ga. Thickness & lighter = CS TYPE A; 33ksi min yield (grade 230) 18 & 20 Ga Thickness = SS Grade 40, Class I; 40ksi min yield (grade 275) 17 Ga. Thickness & heavier = SS Grade 50, Class I; 50ksi min yield (grade 340) (Please note: SS = Structural Steel)

6) ROOF BRIDGING RINGS: One outside roof bridging ring is standard on all #10 thru #12 bins and optional for #7 thru #9 bins. Two roof bridging rings are standard for #14 and #16 bins. Rings are fabricated from heavy gauge 1-1/2" (38mm) diameter tube and threaded connectors expand to position the ring in place. 3. GRAIN BIN USAGE a) CBU & CBUE UNSTIFFENED BIN SERIES The Unstiffened bins are designed and intended for storage and drying of common small grains. This includes all models except for the 8 thru 10 rings tall bins which are used for storage (Not Drying) only. All unstiffened bins up through 7 rings tall will accommodate a stirring device consisting of no more than three down augers. b) CB STIFFENED TO EAVE BIN SERIES The CB Stiffened to Eave Bins may be used for all common drying applications, these bins are available in sizes CB #5 thru #16. If stirring devices consisting of more than six down augers are to be used, contact Chief Industries, Inc., for recommendations. This bin must be used when Stirway II's, Recirculating devices, and stirring devices with four or more down augers are to be installed. Note: See detail on using Stirring Devices 4. THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES It is the responsibility of the General Contractor to insure that the complete bin system (bin, foundation, grain transport equipment, aeration equipment, and other accessory equipment) is constructed in a quality workmanship manner and that all equipment is installed per the respective manufacturer's instructions. In addition, the General Contractor is responsible for the fitness of use of any system which he constructs. All accessory equipment incorporated into the system should be approved for the intended use of each respective equipment manufacturer. a) Field Modifications and Erection Defects Chief Industries, Inc., assumes no responsibility for field modifications or erection defects which create structural or storage quality problems. If any field modifications are necessary which are not specifically covered by the contents of our erection manual, contact Chief Industries, Inc., for approval of the field modifications. Any unauthorized modification or erection defect which affects the structural integrity of the Chief bin will be cause for immediate nullification of the Chief Grain Bin Warranty. b) Concrete Information for Design and Construction The suggested foundation designs shown in the bin erection manuals are based on the allowable soil bearing capacity of the undisturbed soil and should be checked by a licensed engineering firm. Using soil borings to determine the allowable soil bearing capacity, a professional engineer will need to be engaged by the contractor to design the foundation and floor slab accordingly. All suggested foundation designs must be approved by a licensed engineer in order to meet local governing building codes and local soil and weather conditions. Wall loads and floor pressure for standard Chief grain bins are available from Chief Industries, Inc., upon request. IMPORTANT: THE FINISHED FLOOR SURFACE MUST BE LEVEL AT THE BIN WALL LOCATION. LOW SPOTS IN PERIMETER WALL ELEVATION WITHOUT ADEQUATE SHIMMING CAN CAUSE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE BIN SIDEWALL. FAULTY CONCRETE WORK OR SHIM OMISSION WILL NULLIFY THE BIN'S WARRANTY.
Page 8
The suggested concrete foundation designs must not be used in conjunction with unload and aeration tunnels. Concrete and reinforcing bar requirements must be determined by a certified professional engineer. The design must consider soil bearing capacity, soil consolidation, footing requirements, tunnel requirements and the interaction of all foundation components under loaded condition. Non-uniform settlement of the foundation can cause severe structural damage to bin and foundation. An improperly designed or constructed foundation will void all aspects of the bin warranty. It is the responsibility of the General Contractor to insure that an adequate foundation is provided for the bin. 5. ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT All accessory equipment should be installed and maintained in accordance with each individual suppliers installation and operation instructions. However, if any sidewall penetrations or other modifications to Chief Industries, Inc., standard bin design are required, refer to bin erection manual or contact Chief Industries, Inc., for special recommendations. Do Not Modify Bin Design Without Chief Approval. It is the responsibility of the General Contractor to insure that all equipment is properly installed and that the equipment is compatible with the intended use. A qualified electrician should be contracted to complete all electrical wiring and servicing. Chief Industries, Inc., provides no warranty concerning parts, accessories or equipment not manufactured by Chief Industries, Inc. a) Roof Peak Service Loads When determining the service loads on the roof peak, the weight of all accessory equipment suspended or supported by the peak should be considered. The weights should be calculated using the equipment dead load plus the operating load. For example, the weight of an overhead conveyor should include the catwalk, conveyor head assembly, motors, drives, downspouts, discharges and weight of grain when in operation. If conveyor and catwalk design is such that snow build up is likely during winter months, snow load must be added in the peak load calculation. If a temperature cable is suspended from peak add 1000 lbs. (452 kg.) per 40 foot (12.2 m) of cable length to the peak's service load. Interpolate value for intermediate cable length; i.e., 60 foot (18.3 m) cable would exert 1500 lbs. (680 kg), of load. b) Bin Loading Equipment Center filling through the peak opening is required for all bins. Off center loading will create unequal pressures on the bin wall and result in structural damage. If downspouting is to be used, it is recommended that a dead head or cushion box be used to promote uniform filling. Also, the use of spreaders or splash plates are recommended for distributing the grain fines, promoting uniform air flow through grain and leveling the grain peak. IMPORTANT: FILL CONVEYORS AND THE CATWALK MUST NOT BE SUPPORTED BY STANDARD GRAIN BIN WALL. USE INDEPENDENT SUPPORT TOWERS TO SUPPORT OVERHEAD CONVEYORS OR CB STIFFENED BINS WITH UPGRADED STIFFENERS TO SUPPORT THIS TYPE OF LOAD.
Page 9
c) Bin Unloading Equipment All bins must be unloaded through center discharge. If intermediate wells are installed in the floor, they must not be opened until all gravity flow through the center well has ceased. Therefore, center and intermediate wells must have separate control rods. The center well's sweep auger pivot should be centered in the bin to insure unobstructed sweep rotation. If unloading auger exits through bin wall, thoroughly seal around auger tube to prevent moisture and airflow leakage. Reinforcing of sidewall sheets will be necessary if auger exits through the bin wall at a point exposed to direct grain pressure. Contact Chief Industries, Inc., for reinforcing recommendations. IMPORTANT: HIGH UNLOADING RATES CAN CREATE A VACUUM INSIDE BIN. IF UNLOADING RATES EXCEED 5000 BUSHELS (125 MT) PER HOUR, A MINIMUM OF ONE FREE INTAKE VENT (GOOSE NECK VENT RECOMMENDED) MUST BE INSTALLED. ONE UNOBSTRUCTED STANDARD CALDWELL BIN VENT WILL PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTING UP TO AN UNLOADING RATE OF 80,000 BPH (2000 MT/HR). IF SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER RATES ARE NEEDED, PLEASE CONTACT CHIEF INDUSTRIES FOR A RECOMMENDED VENT REQUIREMENT. Sidedraw baffle systems may be installed in the bin sizes specified in Chief catalog. Also, the Chief Industries, Inc., sidedraw unit is the only approved type of sidedraw system that can be installed in a Chief grain bin. IMPORTANT: ANY SIDEDRAW UNIT IMPROPERLY INSTALLED IN A CHIEF BIN WITHOUT CHIEF INDUSTRIES' APPROVAL, OR SIDEDRAW UNITS MANUFACTURED BY OTHER THAN CHIEF INDUSTRIES, INC., COULD RESULT IN STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE BIN AND WILL VOID THE BIN WARRANTY. d) Temperature Cables Temperature cables can be installed in all standard Chief bins; the number and location of temperature cables for each bin size are listed in the temperature cable installation section of the erection manual. Temperature cable support kits supplied by Chief Industries, Inc., are available and must be used whenever temperature cables are installed. Be sure to allow adequate clearance for sweep augers or other internal equipment. Follow temperature cable manufacturer's recommendations for shortening temperature cables if necessary, provide adequate sealant where temperature cable lead wire exits the bins. IMPORTANT: SUPPORT OF TEMPERATURE CABLES BY ANY MEANS OTHER THAN CHIEF INDUSTRIES' RECOMMENDED SUPPORT KITS MAY CAUSE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE BIN ROOF AND WILL NULLIFY THE CHIEF GRAIN BIN WARRANTY. IMPORTANT: All TEMPERATURE CABLES SHOULD BE SECURED TO FLOOR TO PREVENT CABLE FROM DRIFTING TOWARD BIN WALL DURING FILLING. THE USE OF LIGHT TWINE OR MONOFILAMENT LINE SECURED TO A RECESSED ANCHOR IS RECOMMENDED.
Page 10
e) Fans and Transitions Aeration fans should be sized in accordance with Chief's specifications for the particular bin being considered. All fans must be installed per Chief's recommendations and leveled prior to operation. A qualified electrician should be contracted to complete all electrical wiring and servicing. The transition through the bin wall must be thoroughly sealed around the outside of the transition entrance collar to prevent airflow leakage. Use of strip caulking in combination with flashing provided by the transition manufacturer is recommended. If the transition interrupts a stiffener line, the special transition stiffener available from Chief Industries, Inc., must be installed as described in the erection manual. Also, if the transition enters through the bin's bottom sidewall sheet (full floor aeration and tube aeration), adequate reinforcing of the bottom sidewall sheet must be added. Contact Chief Industries, Inc., for recommendations. Standard drying bins do not require reinforcing of bottom sidewall sheet as long as transition enters below the false floor level. f) Heaters The heater unit must be properly matched with the fan size to be used. Heater unit and fan must be compatible, and it is recommended that both units be supplied by the same manufacturer to insure compatibility and safety. Heater unit installation and servicing should only be completed by personnel properly trained by the manufacturer of products being used. The fan and heater need to be located on the bin to assure uniform airflow to the bin. The units should be located at a position 1800 from the outlet of the withdrawal tube. DANGER: Fuel tanks, lines and all valves must be compatible with the type of fuel to be used. Failure to use certified fuel tanks, lines or valves can result in death or severe personal injury. DANGER: Never use anhydrous ammonia tanks or improperly modified fuel tanks for L.P. gas storage. DANGER: L.P. fuel flow control regulators must be installed as recommended by heater unit manufacturer. DANGER: Natural gas flow regulators at the service entrance must be installed by natural gas supplier and must not be modified. The drying temperature should be established based on the type of grain to be dried. Contact Chief for optimum drying temperature. Excessive heat can result in grain damage, overdrying and potential grain fires. CAUTION: When drying sunflower seeds, the drying temperature should not exceed 105o Fahrenheit (410 Celcius). Higher temperatures can result in sunflower oil combustion. g) Aeration Floors Chief recommends the use of channellock floors with steel supports for full floor applications. Commercial applications, (floors loaded and unloaded more than once per year) and bins with a total grain depth of 60' (18.3 m) or greater require an 18 gauge (1.3 mm) floor. The floor layout support spacing must be followed for the particular bin being constructed. Floor supports, fan locations and auger tube should be oriented as shown in the manufacturer's floor plan to insure optimum airflow movement. Corrugated perforated floors require a concrete block and lumber support system. Concrete block and lumber floor supports are not recommended in bins larger than the #13 or bins taller than eight rings. Airflow restrictions when using concrete block and lumber can significantly reduce the air flow efficiency.
Page 11
h) Roof Ventilation Any grain bins using forced air for aeration or drying must be provided with sufficient exhaust or intake vents to prevent excessive internal pressures, either positive or negative. The vent supplier should be consulted for ventilation requirements on each project, with the specific bin size, grain type and depth, fan size and floor type taken into consideration. Chief Industries, Inc., does not recommend the use of negative aeration systems. In the event that negative aeration is to be used, the intake vent requirement should be sized for the bin in the empty condition.
IMPORTANT: ROOF VENT MUST BE FREE OF DEBRIS OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO OPERATION OF FANS. POWER FANS SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 35o FAHRENHEIT (2o Celsius) DUE TO POTENTIAL OF VENT ICING. OBSTRUCTED OR ICED VENTS CAN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE INTERNAL TO EXTERNAL PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL AND COULD RESULT IN STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO BIN ROOF, WALL OR BOTH.
i) Stirring Device Stirring devices can be installed in any drying bin, with the limitations discussed in Section 3. The bins storage capacity will be reduced when installing a stirring device. Drying bin storage capacities listed in the Chief catalog should be used with the additional capacity reduction for down auger drive unit clearance. Inside ladders may require short brackets for wall attachment to provide clearance for the stirring device. CAUTION: The grain level must not be filled above the stirring device. Grain pressure on the stirring device could cause roof or stirring device damage. Down augers may require shortening in order to provide minimum floor clearance of 3"-5" (76mm -127 mm) or additional clearance for sweep augers. Manufacturers down auger shortening procedure should be followed.
j) Recirculators or Continuous Flow Recirculators can only be installed in CB bins. These devices should be installed as instructed by the manufacturer and with the following additional considerations: a. b. c. Consult floor manufacturer for recommended floor reinforcing measures at base of recirculator. If transfer auger exits through roof panels, provide sealant around auger tube to prevent water leakage. The weight of the transfer auger must not be supported by the roof panels. The transfer auger should be supported by the recirculator boot and an adjacent bin or independent support.
Page 12
Section 2 Bin Erection

Chief Industries, Inc. will not assume any responsibility for parts damaged due to faulty or improper erection procedures. Chief Industries, Inc. recommends that Bin Jacks be used for all bins taller than 8 rings and all bins larger than 30 in diameter. WARNING: The allowable lifting capacity of the BIN JACKS must never be exceeded. Always check Bin weight to insure a safe and trouble free erection.
Grain Bin Color Codes

Chief Grain Bins are color coded based on bin diameter. Components such as Roof Rafters, Wind Rings, and Base Angle will be marked with the following Color Codes to help identify them. Bin Size Color Code Bin Size Color Code #12 Yellow/Black #22 Blue #13 Green/Black #24 Brown #14 Orange/Black #26 Yellow #16 Red #30 Green #18 Black #34 Orange #20 Pink

7/16 bin bolts use 5/8 on the head of the bolt and 11/16 on the nut. 5/16 bin bolts use 1/2 on the head of the bolt and nut. 1/2 bolts in the roof structure use 3/4 on the head of the bolt and nut. Bolt Buckets are Color Coded with a Dot as Shown Below. Bolt Size 5/16 7/16 1/2 5/8 Color Code Blue Red Green Yellow
Page 13
B. Checking Shipment
Check your shipment at the time of pickup and delivery against the packing list furnished with the shipment. If a shortage exists or if any damaged material is evident, note such shortage or damage on the freight bill before you sign for the shipment. Claims of shortages will not be honored after thirty days from receipt of shipment. Parts that are short or damaged are the responsibility of the delivering carrier, not the manufacturer or dealer. It is advisable to reorder damaged or missing parts immediately so that there will be no delay in erecting the bin. After receiving the invoice for the reordered material, file a claim with the delivering carrier at once. The galvanized panels leave our plant in prime condition; store off the floor in a heated room if possible. If stored outside, place panels down, off the ground. Upon arrival of shipment if you are not certain whether or not moisture is present, store panels on edge or on end allowing 1/4 air space between panels until dry. Exposure to trapped moisture can cause white rust, which will void the warranty.
C. Stop and Study

Before beginning erection of the bin, take the time to thoroughly study the construction methods in this manual. It will save you both time and money. Important: The peak load capacities listed under Auxiliary Roof Loads must not be exceeded. If your application will exceed the listed values, contact Chief Industries for recommendations. Chief Industries makes no warranty concerning parts, accessories or equipment not manufactured by Chief Industries.
D. Sight Selection
Choose a site that has good drainage away from the bin so that water will not stand around the bin. The soil should be firm and preferably without fill. If fill is required, water and compact the fill material to avoid uneven settlement. A field investigation of the soil bearing conditions is recommended especially for larger grain bins where the foundation loads and floor pressure become large. A licensed engineering firm should be employed to take soil borings, determine the maximum allowable soil pressure and design the bin foundations and floor slab accordingly.
Page 14
E. Bin Jack Erection

Position the structure you provided to hold the Inner Ring at its approximate height, centering the Inner Ring on the center of the Bin. Use at least one Bin Jack per Sidewall Sheet. (For example, on the #18 Bin, use 18 Bin Jacks, etc.) The application of one bin jack per sidewall sheet will minimize sidewall distortion during erection. Failure to use the proper quantity of jacks may result in inward-outward lay of the bin sidewall or even permanent distortion of the bin sidewall sheets. The recommendation of at least one Bin Jack per sidewall sheet is based on keeping the bin round, refer to the warning below, and make sure the lifting capacity of the jack is sufficient for the weight of the bin. Note that all jacks may not shift equally, Therefore make sure the lifting capacity rating by the jack manufacturing is met.
WARNING: If it is necessary to leave the construction site for any length of time before the Bin is completed and anchored to the concrete, the Bin must be securely tied down.
Page 15
F. Assembling Sidewall Sheets

All bolts are washer head bolts with sealing washers S.A.E. Grade 8, with whiz flange nuts. Grade 8 bolts are marked with six radial lines on the bolt head as shown. If these descriptions do not correspond with the bolts shipped with the bin, please contact the customer service department immediately. Do not substitute any other Bolts.
Bin bolts must be TIGHT. The following table contains recommended minimum and maximum torque values.
BOLT DIA. (INCHES) 5/16" 7/16" TORQUE MINIMUM 22 60 FT. LBS MAXIMUM 28 75
Tighten the bin bolts from the inside of the bin (nut end of the bolt) to eliminate spin off of the sealing washer. USE ONLY THOSE BOLTS SUPPLIED BY CHIEF INDUSTRIES. THE SUBSTITUTION OF BOLTS FROM OTHER SOURCES IS NOT PERMITTED.
The top 2 rings of the bin and the roof should be assembled on the concrete bin floor. Attach the lifting brackets to the bolts at the endlaps of the sidewall sheets. The lifting brackets must be attached to the endlap by at least 8 standard bin bolts. NOTE: Proper bolting sequence MUST be followed at all times.
Page 16
The Titan Sign Sheet must be installed in the second ring as shown in figures below.
(Shown installed on a 2 stiffened bin)
(Shown installed on a 3 stiffened bin) Install the Titan Sign Sheet by field drilling (6) six holes in the Titan Sign Sheet and stiffeners as shown above. Bolt the Titan Sign Sheet to the stiffeners with (6) six 7/16 bolts.
Page 17 MANUAL CHIEF42 CB12 TITAN
Assembling top ring Locate the proper gauge of sidewall sheets needed for the top ring from the gauge chart. Lap and caulk sheets as shown below. Locate top stiffeners and install on top ring. Note: Top Sheets have special punching on the top of the sheet at the stiffener holes for the rafter to attach to. Leave bolts out of top (4) stiffener holes until eave brackets are attached.
Wipe off the outside ends of all the Sidewall Sheets to remove excess oil so that the Strip Caulking will adhere to the metal. Place the Strip Caulking as near to the vertical inside edge of sheet at every vertical seam. On Bins 12 gauge or heavier a horizontal strip of caulking is needed on the inside at the center bottom of the Sidewall sheet located on the hill near to the bottom holes. This strip of caulking should fit where the endlap of the next ring Sidewall Sheets bolts up to this location.
Page 18
G. Roof Panel Location

The rafters need to be bolted directly behind a top 2 ring stiffener, the roof panel rib will line up directly above the rafter from the peak to the eave. (There is 1 Rafter and 4 roof panels per sidewall sheet.)
Page 19
H. Crane and Jack Capacities

Crane Capacity: The total roof dead load for each of the respective bin roof sizes is shown in the table below. This weight includes the roof panels and all structural members (roof beams, compression rings, bolts, ect.) When determining the crane capacity necessary to erect the roof structure, the booming distance must be considered. If the cane sizes available will not lift the roof structure (using one crane), two cranes may be used, utilizing a spreader bar. The spreader bar must be adequately designed to carry the entire roof dead weight. CB12 Total Roof Weight = 5,100 lbs.
Peak Heights All peak heights listed below are to the bottom of the peak ring from the ground with (2) Titan sidewall sheet rings installed. Deduct 42 1/2 from the peak heights when only one ring of sidewall sheets are installed. Model CB12 Peak Height 15-11 7/8
WARNING!! OVERLOADING CRANE CAPCITY CAN RESULT IN SUBSTANCIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY. ALWAYS CHECK CRANE CAPACITY PRIOR TO LIFTING ROOF STRUCUTRE

Page 30
Roof Panel Installation 1. Install strip caulking between top end of roof panels and roof panel flashing. Use 5/16 x 3/4 bolts at top end of panel. Bolt roof panels to top angle with 5/16 x 3/4 bolts. 2. Proceed by installing additional roof panels in the following manner: Always working to the right around the bin, place strip caulking on right rib of the previously installed roof panel (top only). Placing roof panel in a vertical position, lock the left rib of the panel being installed over the right rib of the previously installed panel. Tip the roof panel down. As each roof panel is set into place, insert a lining punch through the hole in the rib at the bottom of each roof panel. Temporarily clamp the two roof panels together with vise grips so that the punch can be removed and a 5/16 x 3/4 bolt inserted and hand tightened. Continued installation of roof panels as described in preceding steps.
3. All bins are equipped with one manhole and a roof ladder as standard. Extra manholes should be spaced evenly around the bin. 4. When the last roof panel is placed, it will have to be interlocked by using a rubber mallet. Starting at the top and working down, tap the vertical rib until it is sealed to the other panel. Align roof panel holes and insert 5/16 x 3/4 bolts in the same manner as previously described.

Page 37
E. Roof Vents
A. Goose Neck Vent Installation 1. Refer to the bulletin that comes with the vent for installation procedures 2. Locate Goose Neck Vent on the desired roof sheet. Typically slide Goose Neck Vent up the roof sheet (Toward the small end) until the corners of the base intersect the roof sheet ribs. 3. Using the base as a template, mark and drill the 11/32 diameter mounting holes. 4. Apply (2) two beads of butyl sealant or mastic sealant as shown, between the Goose Neck Vent base and roof sheet. Leave a 1 gap at the lower side of the outside bead.
5. Assemble Goose Neck Vent to roof sheet using 5/16 x 3/4 hex bin bolts and nuts. Tighten all bolts and check sealant along upper end of Goose Neck vent base for any gaps or pockets. Apply extra sealant as required. 6. Peen up edge on inside of Goose Neck Vent to make a water tight seal. The lip should be approximately 1 all the way around.
7. Do Not Weld Goose neck vent to roof as rusting will result.
Page 38
B. Low Profile Roof Vents 1. Install the Screen and clips on the roof vent body using 5/16 x 3/4 bin bolts, nuts and flat washers as shown below. The bolt heads should be on the outside of the vent with the washers and nuts on the inside (against the screen).
2. Locate the roof vent assembly on the roof panel (over the manhole) by aligning the holes in the clips with the corresponding holes in the lower end of the roof panel. 3. Mark the outline of the roof vent with a marking pencil so that the vent can be returned to the same position after the caulking is applied. 4. Remove the vent from the roof panel, turn upside down, and apply caulking to the mounting surface of the sides and top. 5. At this time, install and tighten three 5/16 x 3/4 bin bolts and nuts in the holes directly above and below the manhole (in the roof panel to prevent leakage). 6. Locate the roof vent on the roof panel in its original position and attach with the #14 x 3/4 self-drilling screws provided. If a screw gun is not available, use the holes in the vent as a guide and drill 3/8 holes through the vent and roof panel, and attach with 5/16 x 3/4 bin bolts and nuts. 7. Install 5/16 x 3/4 bin bolts and nuts in the clips and bottom of screen as shown in detail on previous page. 8. Tighten all bolts securely. NOTE: Roofs with structural beams may require field installation of angles between beams at both top and bottom of manhole opening if 20 PSF or 30 PSF live loading is required.

Section 5 Temperature Cables

A. General Considerations
Follow temperature cable manufacturers recommendations for installation of temperature cables. Be sure to allow adequate clearance for sweep augers or other internal equipment. All temperature cables should be stabilized at floor level, to prevent cables from drifting out towards the sidewall as bin is being filled. The use of light twine or monofilament line double wrapped and secured to a recessed anchor, is a common practice. Provide adequate sealant where temperature cable leads exit the bin. Support of temperature cables by any means other than Chief Industries recommended brackets may cause structural damage to the bin roof and will nullify the Chief Grain Bin Warranty.

B. Temperature Cable Brackets

(1) Install temperature cable bracket as shown below. Do not install more than one temperature cable per roof beam. Temperature cable brackets for rafters are provided with all commercial bins, Chief recommends that they are installed on rafters if temperature cables are being install at time of erection or not. (2) Attach temperature cables to rafters per temperature cable manufactures instructions

Page 46
Page 47
NOTE: Proper Bolting Sequence Must Be Followed At All Times. (1) Tighten bolts in top 2 rings and top stiffeners. (2) Select sheets of the proper gauge for the 3rd ring of the bin. Select proper gauge and length of stiffeners. (3) Install stiffener splice plates, to both ends of stiffeners with (2) 7/16 x 1-1/4 Bin Bolts and whiz flange nuts per splice before securing the stiffener to the bin. Note: On top stiffeners, splice plate is only required on the bottom end of the stiffener. (3) Wipe excess oil from ends of the sheets and apply caulking as shown below
(4) Loosely assemble 3rd ring (5) Loosely install stiffeners of the proper gauge to the exterior of the bin with 7/16 bin bolts. Stiffener bolts are always placed with heads inside the bin. Using large alignment punch, force stiffener up so that splices are tightly compressed. Tighten (4) four bolts in 3rd ring to keep stiffeners compressed. Loosely install the (2) 7/16 x 11/4 bolts connecting the stiffener splices to the stiffener splice plate above. Note: Blocks may be used to place under the stiffener splices to compress the stiffener splices. Note: Install bolts on sidewall sheets seam that are in the center of stiffener holes before installing next stiffener.
Page 48
(6) Lower the bin on to the foundation. This will force the 2 ring stiffeners in 2nd and 3rd ring up to splices. (7) Tighten stiffeners to sheets and stiffener splice to stiffener splice bolts. (8) Tighten bolts in vertical seams in 3nd ring. (9) Tighten bolts in horizontal seams between 2nd and 3rd ring beginning at center of sheet and working both ways. (10) Add ladder sections as required (See separate Ladder Manual) (11) Repeat steps 1 thru 10 to add 4th ring and each additional ring. Proper bolting sequence must be followed at all times to assure proper assembly. NOTE: Use 7/16x1 1/4 bin bolts at bottom sidelap of transition sheets. Use 5/16x3/4 bin bolts at the top sidelap at vertical seams of transition sheet. NOTE: All bins have all 2 ring bottom stiffeners at the bottom, a 1 ring stiffener must be placed at every other stiffener line in the 3rd ring.
Page 49
Page 50
B. Double Laminated Sheet Installation

(1). All rings, which require double sheets (indicated in the sheet and stiffener charts) must be installed with the endlaps interlapped as shown in the endlap detail below. (2). Select the proper sheet gauge for each ring of the bin as indicated in the stiffener and gauge chart.
Double Laminated Sheet Endlap (3). Lap the bin sheets so that the outside ring of sheets follow this sequence: The right end of each sheet is always on the outside of the bin and the left end is always on the inside (looking from the outside). Refer to the endlap detail. NOTE: This sequence is the same as the single sheet sequence. (4). Lap the inner ring of the bin sheet so that they follow the same lapping sequence as the outside ring of sheets. Refer to the endlap detail for lapping sequence. (5). Follow the bolt installation procedure for bin sheet endlaps and sidelaps. (6). Install stiffeners as outlined.
Page 51
C. Base Angle Detail
(1) Bolt the base angle to the bottom of the bottom sheet as shown, with either 5/16 x 3/4 with a 3/8 flat washer between the whiz nut and the base angle or 7/16 bin bolts. (2) Seal base angle to concrete, using plastic cement or tar sealant. (NOTE: Sealant not supplied by Chief Industries, Inc.)

H. Light Bin Stiffener Anchor

All bins will have ALL 2 ring bottom stiffeners. Stiffened bins may have two or three Stiffeners per sidewall sheet depending upon bin size and height.
IMPORTANT: All anchors must be bearing firmly upon concrete or shimmed to develop full bearing contact with concrete foundation
SPECIAL NOTE: 2 ANCHOR SHIMS ARE REQ'D PER ANCHOR BRACKET
Bolt anchor brackets to the 2-ring bottom stiffeners and place shim plate on top of anchor bracket. DO NOT fully tighten After the bottom ring is attached, lower the bin carefully, placing all anchor brackets over the anchor bolts. When full weight of the bin is on the concrete, shim the anchors as necessary by sliding shim plates between the concrete and anchor bracket. All anchors must be bearing upon the concrete or shimmed so that full bearing of the anchor is developed. Plastic cement or tar sealant should be applied from inside the bin to seal the bottom ring to concrete. (NOTE: Sealant is not furnished by Chief Industries, INC.) NOTE: Anchors placed over aeration trenches must be supported from the bottom of the trench. After all anchors brackets are shimmed snuggly, place rectangular washers over the anchor bolts and tighten the anchor bolts. If anchor bolt radius is not held, the bins warranty may be nullified. All anchor bolts must project a minimum of 2 above the concrete floor. All anchor bolts, nuts and washers shall conform to ASTM A307 (specification for carbon steel threaded standard fasteners) unless otherwise noted. Anchor bolts and nuts are not provided by Chief Industries, Inc.

I. Heavy Bin Stiffener Anchor

(1) All bins will have ALL 2 ring bottom stiffeners. Stiffened bins may have two or three Stiffeners per sidewall sheet depending upon bin size and height.
IMPORTANT: All anchors must be bearing firmly upon concrete or shimmed to develop full bearing contact with concrete foundation
(2) Bolt anchor brackets to 2-ring bottom stiffeners. DO NOT fully tighten, only finger tighten at this time. (3) After the bottom ring is attached, lower the bin carefully, placing all anchor brackets over the anchor bolts. (4) When full weight of the bin is on the concrete, shim the anchors as necessary by sliding shim plates between the concrete and anchor bracket. All anchors must be bearing upon the concrete or shimmed so that full bearing of the anchor is developed. NOTE: Anchors placed over aeration trenches must be supported from the bottom of the trench. After all anchors brackets are shimmed snuggly, place two square washers over the anchor bolts and tighten. Plastic cement or tar sealant should be applied from inside the bin to seal the bottom ring to concrete. (NOTE: Sealant is not furnished by Chief Industries, INC.)
Page 61
Bin Stiffener anchors allow up to 3 anchor bolts to be used at each anchor location. There are (2) 1 diameter and (1) 1-1/2 diameter holes in each Bin Stiffener Anchor. There are several different combinations that Chief Industries Recommends to anchor the bin to the foundation. 1. One 1-1/4 x 12 anchor bolt may be used in the 1-1/2 diameter hole, if this is done the anchor bolt must be pre set in the concrete 2. Two 3/4 x 12 anchor bolts may be used in the two 1 diameter holes. If this is done, at least one of the two anchor bolts must be pre set in the concrete the second may be drilled in. (It is recommended that both anchor bolts are pre-set.) If anchor bolts are not pre set as stated above, and the anchor bolt radius is not held, the bins warranty may be nullified. Larger anchor bolts or the use of all three anchor bolts may be required if seismic conditions or high wind loads exist. Chief Industries should be consulted for proper anchor bolts to be used. All anchor bolts must project a minimum of 2 above the concrete floor. All anchor bolts, nuts and washers shall conform to ASTM A307 (specification for carbon steel threaded standard fasteners) unless otherwise noted. Anchor bolts, nuts and washers are not provided by Chief Industries, Inc. IMPORTANT: If expansion type anchor bolts are used to replace damaged anchor bolts, the bolt radius circle must be checked at replacement locations so that the bin is round when anchored. Chief Industries recommends using wedge anchors that meet 10,000 LB Pull-Out and 7,500 LB shear criteria.

J. Transition Stiffeners
Aeration Trough Transition Stiffener Installations (for flush-floor aeration systems with two or more fans) (1) The formed concrete dimensions and the anchor bolt placement are important for the correct installation of the transition stiffeners. When forming the concrete, the aeration troughs should be located as specified in Chiefs aeration layout. The anchor bolt locations for the bin need to be oriented to make sure that the number of anchors over the aeration trough is minimized. When installing the anchor bolts, the bolt radius and bolt chord must be correct and they must also be placed according to the details below. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT install the anchor bolts inside the aeration trench at this time.
2 Stiffener/Sheet Bins
3 Stiffener/Sheet Bins
(2) When the bin is erected and located correctly (as illustrated above), insert the transition in the aeration trough. Using the hole in the anchor bracket as a guide, drill a 3/4 hole through the top of the transition. Slide the transition stiffener inside the transition and line it up with the previously drilled hole. Loosely install the 5/8 x 1-1/2 A325 bolt. Rotate the transition stiffener body so that it is centered under the bin wall anchor. See installation detail that follows. (3) The transition stiffener must be attached to the foundation with two (2) 5/8 x 6 expansiontype anchor bolts. The holes for these anchor bolts should now be located. With an acetylene torch, cut two holes in the bottom of the transition using the holes in the transition stiffener base plate as guides. (This would mark the location of the anchor bolts in the concrete as well.) (4) Remove the transition stiffener and the transition.
Page 63
Aeration Trough Transition Stiffener Installation Detail (5) Locate the two anchor bolt locations (from cutting the holes in the bottom of the transition). Set the transition stiffener over the locations to insure that the holes line up. Also, check to insure that the transition stiffener is directly under and in line with the anchor. Make adjustments if necessary. Drill the two holes for the 5/8 x 6 anchor bolts. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT install anchor bolts at this time. (6) Enlarge the two holes in the bottom of the transition to 1 diameter. (7) Reinstall the transition and slide the transition stiffener into position Loosely install the 5/8 x 1-1/2 A325 bolt and rectangular washers at the anchor bracket location. The two 5/8 x 6 expansion-type anchor bolts should now be installed and securely tightened the 5/8 bolts at the anchor bracket. Caulking should be applied to seal the transition. IMPORTANT NOTE: Transition stiffeners support the bin anchors. The transition must also be supported inside the bin. See Chiefs aeration layout for supporting the transition.

K. Stiffener Upgrades for Goal Post (Optional)

When a goal post is being attached to bin, an extra layer of stiffeners are laminated over standard stiffeners at goal post location from eave to base, as been is being erected. Chief recommends that goal post be uniformly attached to at least the top 2 rings of tank at the stiffeners from bottom of 2nd ring to top of 1st ring. Note: Listed below are the maximum loads that can be applied to upgraded stiffener columns. 16GA stiffener upgrade = 5,000 lbs. per column 14GA stiffener upgrade = 6,000 lbs. per column

Section 8 Wind Rings

A. Wind Rings
Consult the Chief catalog for the quantity of wind rings required for your bin. The quantity of wind rings depends on the size of the bin and the application of any accessories (such as a sidedraw system). For quantities and placement of wind rings required when a Sidedraw System is installed on the bin, refer to the charts in this manual. The wind rings will be attached to the sidewall using one bracket per stiffener spaced 58-5/16 apart (38-7/8 on 3 stiffened bins). The brackets are specially formed and prepunched to bolt directly to the sidewall stiffener holes. The wind ring segments will be joined together using a bolted coupler. NOTE: All wind ring segments are 248 long, and may need field cut to keep couplers in between brackets. Always cut segments on end opposite end with pre-punched hole. (1) Working from outside the bin, determine the proper location for installation of the first wind ring. (2) Bolt the first wind ring bracket to the sidewall stiffener holes as shown in Detail below using (2) of the stiffener attachment bolts and nuts with bolt heads on the inside. (Note: Wind ring brackets may be installed below the endcaps if desired to allow for clearance of ladders and platforms.)
ASSEMBLY DETAIL OF WIND RING BRACKET (3) Move right to the next stiffener and repeat step 2. (4) When 4 wind ring brackets have been installed, slide the first ring segment through the four brackets leaving approximately 29 inches of the segment projection past the last bracket. Insert coupler over end of wind ring segment, and attach with 5/8 x 4 bolt.
Page 67
(5) Repeat step 2 through 3 until four more brackets have been installed. (6) Slide another connector into the end of the previously installed ring segment. Slide the next ring segment through the four brackets and butt it firmly against the previous segment.
(7) (8)
Repeat steps 5 and 6 until only one ring segment remains to be installed. Installing the final ring segment requires special procedures. Attach coupler to end of last wind ring segment.
Page 68
(9) (10) (11) (12) (15) (16)
Slide coupler attach to segment over end of 1st segment so segments are bolted together. Field cut other end of segment so segments are flush. Slide last coupler and brackets over segments. Hold segments flush and slide coupler over joint and attach with 5/8 x 4 bolts.

A. Maintenance Instructions
ROOF: Annual inspection of the roof structure should be made to be sure there is no holes in the roof panels and all connections are water tight. If leaks should occur apply weatherproof caulk in the area of concern. Sidewall inspection must also be conducted at least annually. Should leaks occur apply caulk to area of concern. Should spoilage occur, thoroughly clean surfaces. If oxidation is present, remove oxidation and apply corrosive resistance paint. BASE: Inspect base as often as possible for spoilage, as this is a direct indication of excess moisture. If spoilage is present, thoroughly clean surface. If oxidation is present, remove oxidation and apply corrosive resistance paint. After paint has dried, apply base sealer to effected area. Inspect doors and manholes as often as possible to be sure proper seal is maintained. Be sure all warning decals are installed in proper locations. Replace all damaged or unreadable warning decals.
